one-dollar and two dollar silver certificates
are being issued to the full extent of the

to ~greenbacks, the delivery OF which in de-
nominations OF one or two dollars is not
regarded as compulsory, and certainly is
not in the absence OF a demand for them,

do not agree on this subject is one which
the gold currency men OF the East hear

A STRANGE STORY.

The mystery Of the "House Of tho Black
| Raven' is at last partially solved. Mme.
Lemovne, as she was known only by hear
saw. is dead and buried. But no n knows
the time of her burial or the locality OF
her grave, or oven the cause Of her death.
The two old negro servants, like" and
"Beck"-man and wife-who have lived
with their mistress in her impenetrable re-
treat the past thirty years, positively refuse
to answer any questions on the subject, and
as the proper authorities have taken no &C
ton in the matter and show no disposition
to do so, we fear that the circumstances
surrounding the death Of the solitary mis-
tress of the House of the Black Raven will
never be known.
The story is a strange one, and our repor-
ter wonders that he lives to tell the tale
after his perilous trip through the dense
forest of some twenty miles that leads to
Osceola mountain-a trip that occupied
two weeks, and has brought him back to
civilization haggard, footsore and in tatters.
Our reporter secretly left the village by
night, fully equipped for the remarkable
journey. He was clad in q thick suit,
impervious to tie rain, stout shoes and a
water shedding hat. He was armed with a
VA4CuCSVoA AOpC0tAA6 AAA0S WV 6ON~
vers, a hunting knife and plenty of ammu
milton. He carried also about his person a
money bag well filed with gold, and in his
haversack were concentrated meats, crack
ers, quinine, a flask of brandy and several
boxes of matches as well as a dark lantern,
a spyglass and a compass. Thus equipped,
the reporter gayly shook our hands some
two weeks ago and departed. We
heard Of him during all that time, and had
about concluded that he had been lost or
killed in the forest, when yesterday he ap-
peared with the smile of success upon his
wan and pinched face. With only a few
words of ordinary greeting he sat immedi-
ately down at his old desk and wrote the
following story, which we print without
addition or erasure:
After three days of such experience as I
hope I never may be called upon to undergo
again, I arrived in sight of Osceola noun
tain and Immediately began observations
with my spyglass. The morning was clear,
and through a cleft in the forest, which I
discovered after much trouble, I was able
10 see a portion Of the strange house and a
little of its surroundings. A days constant
watching convinced me that there were but
;wo servants about the place. colored man

The recent postal order, which includes

ments other than the name OF the sender.
has aroused much interest among business
men. DR.. Day, postmaster at st. Paul,
rendered the following opinion in the
matter:
1t does not affect first class
matter, but it does second, third
and fourth classes. The law pre-
seribes what can be put on tile outside,
and the strict Interpretation OF the rule
allows nothing else. On second-elass mat
ter. which is newspapers, the sender can
put on the date at which the subscription
expires, or he can fold inside n receipted
bill of the subscription. On third and
fourth.class matter alter the word from
he can put the name of the sender-say,
John Smith, but he can't put on DIR. John
Smith, or John Smith, Grocer. Therefore
Uncle Sans mails are protected from be.
ing used as an advertising medium.

their threat.
There was no attempt to pass the reso-
luton providing for the reduction OF the

Powderly man made a motion calling for
the resignation OF the general officers. a
vote was taken upon this question, and it
was carried by a vote of II6
to 81. Mr.. Powderly was prompt in
resigning. In Tact he did not
wait for the vote to be taken, but quickly
rendered his resignation. IL was not ac.
cepted, there being but a very few votes in
favor OF so doing. Messrs. Hayes, Carlton
